About Horsley hills

Horsley Hills is a well known hill resort located at a distance of 144 km from Tirupati, the sacred pilgrim centre in Andhra Pradesh. Situated at an altitude of 1265m the hill station is inundated with verdant vegetation like Eucalyptus, Jacaranda, Allamanda, and Gulmohar among various other species. Horsley Hills is one of the favourite destinations for people inhabiting Bangalore owing to a favourable climate and exuberant locales. Punganoor cows famous for low appetite and high yielding milk capacity are provided breeding by the Chenchu tribes who live in this region. The initial name of the place was Yenugu Mallamma Konda. The historical legends state that there was a girl named Mallamma who was taken care of by elephants and she was engaged into healing people on the hills. Later she disappeared and people assumed her to be a Goddess and built temple in her fond memory.
The current name is coined after a British officer named W. D. Horsley, the Collector of Cuddapah district. He was impressed by its ethereal beauty and chose it as his summer residence.
